SITRAM product warranties

All our products are guaranteed against manufacturing defects

Article L.211-7 of the French Consumer Code, which came into effect on March 18, 2016, stipulates that "defects of conformity appearing within 24 months of the delivery of goods will be presumed to have already existed at the time of delivery, unless proven otherwise." In other words, for goods purchased after March 18, 2016, any product defects (except those related to misuse by the consumer) which appear during the 2 years following the purchase of the product are presumed to have existed when the product was delivered.
